I actually emailed them and the reply I got back was that they are not taking anymore reservations as of now. They are making the machines. Those who made deposit for $5,000 will get them for that. It is costing them $8,000 to make them so they are making extra machines to sell only through their website. $10 - $12k to absorb some of the lost money on the deposited machines. So, they will have some machines to sell. But, that is Steep when you know others got it for $5,000 but, they were first and waited I suppose. I will watch the site as time progresses anyway. Just in case. But, that is the email I got back. Pretty awesome either way though. Good for them.

Exactly. Reading that two days ago was what made me email Mr. Pinball Australia to begin with. The response came yesterday. They responded exactly what I typed as I had asked if their were any more deposits being taken. He said No... then wrote me another email with what I stated above. I hope it works out for everyone. They stated it is Legit and happening as we type. So, those who risked it upfront will be rewarded is the way it looks. I dunno if I am willing to hold out for a $10- 12 k machine though...
